“At ten-fifteen on the night of April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln slumps forward in his rocking chair. Mary Lincoln, lost in the play until this very instant, stops laughing.” After four years of the disastrous American Civil War the man who kept the country together is assassinated at a play at Fords Theater in Washington DC. What has
happened leading up to this point and how will they find his killer? In Bill O’reilly’s book, Killing Lincoln, he describes the very fine details of what President Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth, and his conspirators did two weeks before the assassination up until when Booth was captured and killed. Even knowing the overview of the assassination it was really cool to actually see the fine details of what happened. This book would be
excellent for anyone wanting to know more about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln or American history.

Your review was written really well, maybe I'll read this book sometime.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very interesting book. Do you know where I could find it?
ReplyDeleteBill O' Reilly is a True American Patriot and in my opinion he knows his stuff when it comes to Politics and History. He is a great political commentator and im sure a great author. This sounds like a great book too read for fun or before/during a American Civil war history unit. I think you can get this book off Barnes and Noble,and as a side note at the end of the O'Reilly factor he mentions about the book and where you can get it also. Great review. Charlie Craig
